Yvonne Lung’s project, Dish, will use cooking to strengthen relationships between Asian American immigrant youth and their elders, and preserve culture, stories, and language through food. Yvonne’s inspiration for this project was her grandparents, her experience as a first-generation immigrant, and her own struggle to maintain a cultural connection in this country. Through this project, youth will learn from their elders how to create their favorite homemade meals and document the process through video, audio and photography. Yvonne will work with Bubblefish, a restaurant in Chinatown, to host bi-monthly gatherings where participants will cook and offer tastings to their community. The recipes and documentation of the process will be posted on a website dedicated to the project.
